666 Mother and Daughter Meet (2)
Helian Wan still did not say anything. She only buried her head in playing with the tassel on her belt.
This quiet and obedient appearance seemed to have a trace of grievance in Nangong Li’s eyes. Nangong Li realized that his heart had gone soft. This was really strange. He did not have much feelings for this woman. He wanted to possess her only because she was Yan Jiuchao’s woman.
But now…
Nangong Li covered his thumping heart. He felt like he had seen a ghost. He actually…
He composed himself and removed his distracting thoughts. “Actually, I don’t have to be your enemy. Back then, when I saw the mark of the Ghost Clan on you, I guessed that your identity was not simple. However, I didn’t expect you to be able to reach this day step by step. Isn’t it good to stay in the Great Zhou safely? Why do you have to return to Nanzhao and fight for something that doesn’t belong to you?
“Your mother is the Eldest Princess. She was born with the life of a jinx. She will bring disaster to the entire Nanzhao. This is the truth, whether you believe it or not. So what if you have the holy artifact? You don’t really think you can defeat me, do you?”
At this point, Nangong Li chuckled softly. A trace of smugness flashed across his eyes. “I might as well tell you that you don’t have any chances of winning. Before things reach an irreversible point, you should stop having thoughts that you shouldn’t have. You’re my cousin. As long as you obediently do as I say, I won’t touch you and the Eldest Princess. Consort Yun can also enjoy her old age in the harem. As for my conditions, I think you understand very well that I want Yan Jiuchao and Xiao Zhenting’s heads!
“You don’t have to be in a hurry to reject me. I’ll give you a night to consider. Tomorrow morning, you either promise me yourself or be held hostage by me. It’s up to you. Ah, and don’t play tricks. You can’t deal with me. Do you know why?”
Nangong Li gestured with her fingers smugly. “I have three Asuras.”
The sleepy someone under the cloak finally reacted when she heard the last sentence. Her eyes lit up!
A-A-A-Asura! Three, three, three… three!!! The kind that could fight? The Asura at home is my baby’s good friend. It was so uncomfortable not to beat him up!
Nangong Li was stunned by her suddenly straightened back. Was it an illusion? Why, why did he feel like she was drooling?!
“If you’re hungry…”
Halfway through his sentence, the petite figure pounced over and pushed Nangong Li to the cold floor.
Nangong Li was caught off guard. The back of his head hit the floor heavily, and he fell until he was dizzy. He saw stars and even had a ringing in his ears for a moment. It was the ringing in his ears that made him miss Little Sly Jiang’s question.
Little Sly Jiang was annoyed. She squatted down, grabbed his hair, and shook his head hard. “Let me ask you a question. Where is Asura?”
Nangong Li felt like his brain was about to explode! The intense headache quickly brought him back to consciousness. He opened his dizzy eyes and saw the face hidden under the cloak.
He was stunned.
This face… was indeed seventy to eighty percent similar to the portrait, but this was not Helian Wan’s face!
This was…
“Where’s Asura! Where’s Asura!” Little Sly Jiang asked persistently.
A bolt from the blue flashed across Nangong Li’s head.
Eldest Princess!!!
His biological aunt!
He actually treated his aunt like that just now…
Thinking of the feeling that made his heart pound, Nangong Li’s scalp went numb. He could flirt with his cousin, but he didn’t want to do it with his aunt!
“Someone—” He shouted!
At this moment, he could no longer care less about why the person who came was not Helian Wan, but the Eldest Princess. His mind was filled with shock. Wasn’t this woman sickly and could collapse with a gust of wind? Who could tell him who this fellow who pressed him to the ground and could not get up?
“Asura, Asura, Asura.” Little Sly Jiang poked Nangong Li’s body with her index finger.
Accidentally, a rib was broken! Nangong Li was in so much pain that he almost fainted! He was a young master who had grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth. When had he ever suffered like this? Not to mention a rib, he had never even injured a finger. Asura could withstand this pain, but he was not so optimistic.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
Where were the guards? Where were the sacrificial soldiers? Were they all dead?
This was not the guard’s fault.
It was because he had instructed that no one was allowed to approach when he was talking to Helian Wan. Everyone retreated. Therefore, after he shouted, a while later, guards rushed over without understanding the situation.
